of Socialism or Anarchy. must learn

INTERESTING CONTROVERSY.

The United States Senate, when il
shall meet next winter, will be called
upon to decide new question, and to
put an Interpretation on a Stase law.
The matter will arise over the Senator
sh'p from West Virginia. When the
regular session OF the Legislature ex-
pred by constitutional Limitation, the
Governor appoint d Judge Lucas Sena-
LOT, as he had right to do. The Gov
ernor afterwards called the Legislature
together IN special session, whereupon
the solons, instead of combining them
serves to the business for which they
were convened proceeded to elect a
United States Senator, choosing Judge
Faulkner. Lucas does not propose
TO surrender the seat without an
ehort. The constitution of the State
forblds the Legislature to consider any
business at called session except such
as Is mentioned in the call. In his
proclamation calling the Legislature to
meet IN special session the Governor
made no mention Of the Senatorship.
The Constitution of the United States
provides that ''if vacancies Tin The Sen
ate) happen, by resignation or other
wise, during the recess of the Legislature
OF any State, the executive thereof may
make temporary appointments until the
next meeting Of the Legislature, when it
shall then fill such vacancies" The
question for the Senate to consider
will be whether the United States
Constitution or the State Consti-
tuition shall prevail. Judge Lucas
holds a good title under the
State Constitution, and the title of
Judge Faulkner is without flaw if the
Federal Constitution shall prevail. As
both gentlemen are Democrats, partisan
politics cannot be brought in to decide
the controversy.

ASKING RECOGNITION.

The NJ assachusetts colored voters
who have been faithful but unrewarded
servants OF the Republican party, have
had the hardwood to ask recognition
at the hands of the party they have
served so long and to such good pur-
pose. They have solemnIy ''resoly
that they are entitled to some of the
offices, and demanded that their share,
based upon the number of voters. be
awarded to them. The poor negroes do
not know the Republicans if the former
think their request or demand will
amount to anything. Your true Re
publican politician has a good deal of
love for the black, so long as the latter
is willing to do the bidding of the poll
ticisns without question or hope of re
ward. If the negro will vote the Re
publican ticket, and be content to
hear himself praised for his
fidelity to the party which
freed" him, the Republicans will give
him all the inexpensive taffy which he
can appreciate; but the moment the
black suggests that he should be a
man and brother in something more
than ke ping Ipolit cal bosses in power.
he becomes an ungrateful wretch, and
is denounced as a traitor. The Repub
Gcans are ever sol;citous for the
blacks in the Democratic south.
and are forever shouting themselves
hoarse in demanding that the negroes
be installed in the Offices down there.
but there is no room for negro officis,
IN the north. If the Massachusetts
colored men want their political rights,
If they want their share of the Offices
which their votes control, they should
move away from State where politi-
clans are so soiicitious for the rights of
the blacks in the south that they can
pay no attention to their home negroes
